With 4500 new native trees planted, the installation of 25 reef balls, along with the creation of a connected floodplain wetland, Emigrant Creek in northern NSW has undergone a habitat transformation.
OzFish Unlimited, in partnership with local landholders and North Coast Local Land Services, has achieved remarkable success in restoring a 2.65km stretch of Emigrant Creek, creating a thriving habitat for native fish
Artificial reef balls are made of concrete and designed to mimic natural rock structures, which are important habitats for marine organisms, particularly fish. The reef balls provide a substrate for these organisms to attach and grow, and also offer protection from predators.
It’s been all systems go for our volunteers in Victoria as 2023 gets underway. They are hard at work rolling up their sleeves across multiple projects in Westernport, planting over 1500 across two sites, near Rhyll and along the Hastings foreshore. These will not only provide juvenile fish with a safe space to live and feed before they head into deeper waters but also help to protect the coastline against extreme weather events and reduce soil erosion
